The original gameboy is a z80, isn't it?

Yes it is.
While we're at it the GBA's are ARM v7

No, it is an ARM7, which makes it ARMv4 (the arm devs were really smart about their numbering scheme). ARMv4 seems to have rust support for linux (tier 3), so baremetal should be possible, too.

I vaguely recall someone doing Rust on a GBA already. It came up when I was looking at ARMv6 support to run Rust on a Raspberry Pi Zero / 1.
While we're here:
6502 - Every Commodore 8 bit machine, Apple I, Apple II, NES, Acorn 8 bit range (including BBC Micro), Bender from Futurama, and the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 6809 - TRS CoCo, Dragon 32 Z80 - Every CP/M machine, entire Amstrad 8 bit range, entire Sinclair 8 bit range PowerPC 'G3' - GameCube and Wii PowerPC 'G5' - Xbox 360 (+ PS3?) MIPS R5900 - PS2
Cool, I didn't know about the gba support for rust. There seems to be already a small community doing rust for gaming consoles: https://github.com/rust-console
(concerning pi-zero: I started programming that, but I switched to the beaglebone, since the documentation for the raspis is horrible; but I guess armv6/v7 is too modern for rust-retro)

One to go on the associated projects list:

Yes for modern arm check out the embedded working group. Beaglebone and RPi's are also supported in mainline when linux is installed.
There's old MIPS
Old UNIX workstations etc
Ah, the SGI Indy. MIPS R4000, running IRIX.
I own an indigo 2 with an R8000

Paging @lokathor
Uhm, hi? I already have a rust-console
group and would rather that we join efforts than form a whole new group.
PS: I haven't read the topic until now i just got the email suddenly
@Lokathor log into our matrix room and we can talk about this face to face.
An internal guthub issue isbt the place for politics
Our matrix chat is linked in the readme of this repo
A "non exhaustive" list of platforms was provided by @thejpster, shown below that currently do not have mainstream rust support. All of these plus countless more are candidates for RWG support:
This RFC requests input on which platforms we should prioritise (on this list or not) and how we should choose priorities in the future.
